The Waste (Meaning of Recovery) (Miscellaneous Amendments) Regulations 2016
These Regulations make amendments to various enactments which define waste “recovery” by reference to Directive 2008/98/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council on waste (OJ No L 312, 22.11.08, p 3) (“the Waste Framework Directive”). Annex II to the Waste Framework Directive was amended by Commission Directive (EU) 2015/1127 (OJ No L 184, 11.07.15, p 13), adding a climate correction factor into the energy efficiency formula used to determine whether an incineration facility dedicated to the processing of municipal solid waste is considered a recovery operation (recovery operation “R1” in Annex II).
